At the beginning, we thought that the stone peeled things were genuine, but when we saw the real things, we were speechless immediately. Some kind-hearted people told him that it was a fake. He was not only not happy to hear it, but also said that others were envious of him.
He didn't listen to the good words of Shi pipi, and no one reminded him. It was all a joke.
However, no matter how good things are, they can't be eaten as food. Seeing that the antique market is gradually rising, and the family needs money, Shi paipi is ready to sell them. So he contacted a few friends, said his this treasure to transfer, asked each other whether or not.
However, it's strange that things are so fake that they can be sold. After asking several friends in a row, they either say they don't want them, or they can't afford them because they don't have enough money.
Seeing the same attitude of these friends, Shi Papi couldn't help muttering. However, he didn't think his things were fakes. He thought his friends thought his things were too expensive, so he just took them to the auction company and prepared to go to the auction.
The person in charge of the auction company was very happy when he saw the things from Shi PA's belt. He immediately said to Shi PA that it was a fake.
When I heard that, I was angry and said that I had been identified by so and so. The other side said that if this thing was in ancient times, it was played by the emperor.
At that time, the person in charge said with a smile: "since it is a if, it means that this thing did not exist at that time!"
When he heard this, shipapoi was also silly on the spot. At this time, he understood the meaning of the expert's words, but after all, he spent 22 thousand to buy it. Of course, he couldn't give up so much, so he went to several auction companies.
Except for one of these companies, all the others said that they were fakes. The other company said that it was very good, with an estimated price of 5 million yuan. It could be the main item of their company's next auction, but they had to pay the cost of the catalogue in advance, which would add up to thousands.
Shi paipi has poor eyesight, and he is not stupid. He heard that his things could be worth five million, and his heart was bubbling. However, as soon as he heard that he had to pay for the catalogue fee, he immediately understood that he had met a fraud company.
This kind of company that Shi paipi met is not a case in point. Companies like this usually cheat sellers to send photos by using the trick of "false identification and overestimation of collections" in order to get high fees.
In fact, how to cheat is also simple. These companies usually get the contact information of Tibetan friends in the industry, and then contact you to tell you how good your things are, how good they sell, and how they can be photographed. Then they preach how strong their companies are and how many buyers they have, and cheat Tibetan friends.
If you go, no matter whether your collection is true or false, their "experts" will always give you a higher valuation than you can even imagine. Such exaggeration and bewitching can easily make you fall into their trap. The purpose of doing so is to make you happy, and then to ask for the appraisal fee, which is much higher than the market price.
Then, they said that your collection could be photographed, but in order to tour the exhibition or focus on recommending your collection, you should charge 1.2% of the starting price for cataloguing or publicity.
Compared with the evaluation of millions or tens of millions of products, the recording fee of hundreds or thousands of yuan is insignificant. So some Tibetans were recruited because they were greedy for money.
As for the collection of things, what should we do? These companies will not lose your things, but wait for a period of time, and then give them back to you, saying that they are streaming.
Of course, there are also companies that, for the sake of long-term planning, will choose to preview and auction quickly. They will also follow the example of regular auction companies and choose star hotels for preview and auction. However, they usually go through the show, and the buyers are also entrusted. Basically, there will be no turnover.
If it was a few days ago, Shi Pipi might have been cheated. However, because he has been going to the auction company these days, some friends worried that he would suffer such losses, so they told him the secret. Therefore, as soon as he heard that the other party wanted to pay for the catalogue, he immediately picked up something and left.
When he thought that what he had spent a lot of money on was a fake, Shi paipi was very depressed. At that time, his family was in a hurry to use money, and his heart was full of remorse. Fortunately, a few days later, he mistakenly bought a good thing and sold it for fifteen thousand yuan. Although he didn't make up for the deficit, he solved the family's urgent need.
Since then, shipaopi has been much more cautious in shopping. However, with his insight, it is common for him to buy wrong things or sell missing things.
"Oh, hey, how can such a good thing cost you so much? You see, the painting on this bottle may have been painted by famous artists at that time. Can you do it at this price? More... "
When Chu Chen came back to himself, he saw that Shi Papi was holding a blue and white porcelain vase. He was showing the appearance that he might suffer losses, exaggerating with the guests.
Chu Chen took a closer look and found that the blue and white porcelain vases in Shi paipi's hands were imitations of the Republic of China, and the quality was not good. As he said, they were painted by some famous artists.
The customer was not very old. Seeing the appearance of Shi paipi, he frowned for a moment. Finally, he shook his head: "I can't add any more. If I add more money for my father's mobile phone, it won't be enough! Besides, the price is quite suitable. If there is more, I might as well go to the store to buy it! "Seeing the deadlock, Shi paipi thought about it and looked at the guest again. This glance immediately made his eyes brighten. Then he said with a sad face: "this little brother, I'm also a small business. It's not easy for me to make money. Otherwise, you can use your watch to offset it!"
Hearing this, Chu Chen and the vendor beside him almost burst out laughing, and the guest was stunned. He was a little at a loss for a while. After a while, he shook his head and said, "no, I want a hundred when I buy this watch."
Shi paipi said with a smile: "it's a hundred, but I think your watch should have been worn for a long time. It's always broken! Besides, if the old one doesn't go and the new one doesn't come, you're not bad for money. After that, you can buy a new watch.... "
Next, Shi Bapi had a good talk with Balabala, which made the guest feel dizzy and confused. He really gave him his watch.
Shi paipi put the money into his pocket with a smile and put his watch to his ear. After listening to the sound, he put it on his hand and said with a smile, "it's convenient to watch the time!"
Seeing the appearance of stone peeling, Chu Chen really couldn't laugh or cry. To be able to do business like stone peeling, he really had to have some level.
Shi paipi raised his head and saw Chu Chen standing in front of his stall. He said with a smile: "boss Chu, I heard that you just solved a piece of glass seed. It's really worthy of being the Jade King!"
Chuchen said with a smile: "come on, I'm just lucky. How can I be called the Jade King! If you say that again, you'll win! "
Shi Bapi laughs. Although he is not well educated, he has been in business for so long and knows that young people can't hold him too high. However, he thinks Chu Chen still has two brushes. Otherwise, why would old Liu take him as a disciple?
However, how about Chu Chen? He thinks it has nothing to do with him. What he cares about is how to turn the money in Chu Chen's pocket into his own. So, he quickly said, "boss Chu, I have something good here. Do you want to have a look?"
Maybe he also understood that his level was not high, and he quickly said: "we are all professionals, so I'll tell you the truth. This thing was bought from an old man the day before yesterday. He said it was his family's ancestral, and I looked very old-fashioned, so I bought it."
Then he took the things out of the box beside him and put them in front of Chu Chen.
When Chu Chen looked at it, he found that it was a very small statue of arhat, which was less than eight centimeters high. However, when he took it to his hand, he found that it was still heavy. When he looked at it carefully, he was surprised to find that it was made of refined copper.
Red copper is simple copper, that is pure copper. You may find it strange, but it's made of pure copper. What's so strange.
Now, pure copper is certainly not a rare thing, but copper was in short supply in ancient times. Copper was used in coin making in all dynasties, and there were many copper castings and so on. There was a great demand, but the supply was limited.
In ancient times, when every new dynasty was established, many coins and bronzes of the previous dynasties were melted again to make coins of the current Dynasty. This was because of the shortage of copper materials. Red copper is pure copper, which does not mix with other materials. Of course, it will consume more copper, so there are few copper handicrafts made of red copper.
Although the statue of arhat was small, Chu Chen observed that it was not only made of red copper, but also in the style of the mid Ming Dynasty. It was the first time he met such a thing, which was the reason why he was surprised.
This arhat has a pretty face, clear and peaceful eyebrows. Left hand on the ground, right hand on the knee, cross legged and sit. He seems to be carefree and comfortable. He has the ability to see through the world, to eliminate the leaks, and to be at ease.
The cassock on his body is gentle and close to the body, and the pleats are natural and smooth. It falls down on his side and legs like running water, which is very realistic. The details of the cassock are also very exquisite. The Futian grid is indistinctly visible, and the left shoulder strap hook and knot are interspersed.
Craftsmen abandoned the stereotyped image of religious works and highlighted the individuality of the works. It makes it surpass the mortal's divinity, appropriately expresses the face of the venerable, gives people a kind and amiable feeling, and creates the acme of artistic expression.
In particular, this arhat is so small that it can perform so well. The craftsman's skill is superb and extraordinary.
Chu Chen couldn't help admiring this arhat statue. Although its style was simple, it was very rare that the gorgeous red copper showed the brilliance of gilding. In addition, the craftsman gave it the temperament, which made the miniature statue less than 8 cm high like the mountain into the clouds
